During a promotional event organized by the Spanish airline Iberia, Rafael Nadal gave some advice to the youngest. The Spaniard said: “I’m not used to giving advice, but I always say that if you want to turn professional or dedicate your life to something, you have to put everything else aside.
My career has always been a priority, but that doesn’t stop me from hanging out with my friends once in a while and having fun. I do the same things as my classmates, but less frequently.
My advice to young people is to have fun, fight for your dreams and surround yourself with the right people.” The Spanish legend was recently praised by Jack Draper: “The way Rafa behaves on the tennis court is a great inspiration for everyone who loves this sport.
His attitude and tenacity have stunned even legends of other sports. Nadal fights to win every point and never loses his humility. You can learn a lot from such an athlete.”
Rafa is ready to compete in America.
No one expected Rafael Nadal to win the first two majors of 2022. The Spanish phenom, who only played seven official tournaments last year, left everyone speechless as he triumphed at the Open d Australia and at Roland-Garros.
The 36-year-old Mallorcan reaffirmed that he is an absolute legend in the sport and has won 22 Grand Slams. Novak Djokovic closed the gap by winning his seventh Wimbledon title, while Roger Federer is still in the doldrums after undergoing further knee surgery.
Rafa will have a great chance to widen the gap at the US Open, given that Nole will hardly be able to travel to the United States next month (not being vaccinated against the coronavirus).
The Iberian took a few weeks to recover from his abdominal injury and has already returned to work. The former world number 1 will return to the field in Montreal, with the aim of refining his preparation for the US Open.
